TextOut is low-level. &nbsp;If you want to use it and need the newlines etc. to be handled properly, you'll need to fix them yourself.<br />

DrawText is higher level and Windows fixes up special characters for you.

I always though TextOut just called DrawText. &nbsp;In any case the doco says that it handles TA_UPDATECP.<br />
<br />
Correct me if I am wrong but I think the real &quot;problem&quot; is that once you use TA_UPDATECP then you are giving up any &quot;multi-line&quot; capability. &nbsp;What would a CR be expected to do?<br />

I want to use TextOut with the fMode parameter set to TA_UPDATECP. However my newline characters do not work on the printer i.e. they do not update the CP. How do I get newlines/line feeds to work with TextOut?<br />
<br />
Thanks.
